- Sterling Silver - Sterling silver is a mixture of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of another metal, usually copper. Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver, and is relatively soft and the addition of the very small amount of copper gives the metal enough strength and hardness to be worked into jewellery, decorative and household objects.
- Goldsmiths' Alliance - The Goldsmiths' Alliance was a trade association for goldsmiths and silversmiths in London, England. It was founded in the late 19th century and was active until the 1960s. The organisation represented the interests of goldsmiths and silversmiths in London and provided a range of services to its members, including legal assistance, business advice, and financial support. It also promoted the work of its members and helped to ensure that high standards of craftsmanship and ethics were maintained within the industry. The Goldsmiths' Alliance was affiliated with the Goldsmiths' Company, which is one of the oldest and most prestigious goldsmithing organizations in the world.
